DIAGNOSTICS FOR INFINIBAND FABRICS
DESCRIPTION
infiniband-diags is a set of utilities designed to help configure, debug, and maintain infiniband fabrics. Many tools and utilities are provided. Some with similar functionality. The base utilities use directed route MAD\(aqs to perform their operations. They may therefore work even in unconfigured subnets. Other, higher level utilities, require LID routed MAD\(aqs and to some extent SA/SM access.
THE USE OF SMPs (QP0)
Many of the tools in this package rely on the use of SMPs via QP0 to acquire data directly from the SMA. While this mode of operation is not technically in compliance with the InfiniBand specification, practical experience has found that this level of diagnostics is valuable when working with a fabric which is broken or only partially configured. For this reason many of these tools may require the use of an MKey or operation from Virtual Machines may be restricted for security reasons.
COMMON OPTIONS
Most OpenIB diagnostics take some of the following common flags. The exact list of supported flags per utility can be found in the documentation for those commands.
Addressing Flags
The -D and -G option have two forms: Define the common option -D for Directed routes
. -D, --Direct The address specified is a directed route NDENT 0.0 NDENT 3.5
Examples:
 [options] -D [options] "0" # self port
 [options] -D [options] "0,1,2,1,4" # out via port 1, then 2, ...

 (Note the second number in the path specified must match the port being
 used. This can be specified using the port selection flag \(aq-P\(aq or the
 port found through the automatic selection process.)
NINDENT NINDENT Define the common option -D for Directed routes
. -D, --Direct <dr_path> The address specified is a directed route NDENT 0.0 NDENT 3.5
Examples:
 -D "0" # self port
 -D "0,1,2,1,4" # out via port 1, then 2, ...

 (Note the second number in the path specified must match the port being
 used. This can be specified using the port selection flag \(aq-P\(aq or the
 port found through the automatic selection process.)
NINDENT NINDENT Define the common option -G
. -G, --Guid The address specified is a Port GUID Define the common option -G
. --port-guid, -G <port_guid> Specify a port_guid Define the common option -L
. -L, --Lid The address specified is a LID Define the common option -s
. -s, --sm_port <smlid> use \(aqsmlid\(aq as the target lid for SA queries.
Port Selection flags
Define the common option -C
. -C, --Ca <ca_name> use the specified ca_name. Define the common option -P
. -P, --Port <ca_port> use the specified ca_port. Explanation of local port selection
.
Local port Selection
Multiple port/Multiple CA support: when no IB device or port is specified (see the "local umad parameters" below), the libibumad library selects the port to use by the following criteria: NDENT 0.0 NDENT 3.5 NDENT 0.0
1. 3
the first port that is ACTIVE.
2. 3
if not found, the first port that is UP (physical link up). NINDENT If a port and/or CA name is specified, the libibumad library attempts to fulfill the user request, and will fail if it is not possible. For example: NDENT 0.0 NDENT 3.5
ibaddr # use the first port (criteria #1 above)
ibaddr -C mthca1 # pick the best port from "mthca1" only.
ibaddr -P 2 # use the second (active/up) port from the first available IB device.
ibaddr -C mthca0 -P 2 # use the specified port only.
NINDENT NINDENT NINDENT NINDENT
Debugging flags
Define the common option -d
. NDENT 0.0

-d raise the IB debugging level. May be used several times (-ddd or -d -d -d). NINDENT Define the common option -e
. NDENT 0.0

-e show send and receive errors (timeouts and others) NINDENT Define the common option -h
. -h, --help show the usage message Define the common option -v
. NDENT 0.0

-v, --verbose increase the application verbosity level. May be used several times (-vv or -v -v -v) NINDENT Define the common option -V
. -V, --version show the version info.

Configuration flags
Define the common option -t
. -t, --timeout <timeout_ms> override the default timeout for the solicited mads. Define the common option -z
. NDENT 0.0

--outstanding_smps, -o <val> Specify the number of outstanding SMP\(aqs which should be issued during the scan Default: 2 NINDENT Define the common option --node-name-map
. --node-name-map <node-name-map> Specify a node name map. NDENT 0.0 NDENT 3.5 This file maps GUIDs to more user friendly names. See FILES section. NINDENT NINDENT Define the common option -z
. --config, -z <config_file> Specify alternate config file. NDENT 0.0 NDENT 3.5 Default: /etc/infiniband-diags/ibdiag.conf NINDENT NINDENT

COMMON FILES
The following config files are common amongst many of the utilities. Common text for the config file
.
CONFIG FILE
/etc/infiniband-diags/ibdiag.conf A global config file is provided to set some of the common options for all tools. See supplied config file for details. Common text to describe the node name map file.
.
NODE NAME MAP FILE FORMAT
The node name map is used to specify user friendly names for nodes in the output. GUIDs are used to perform the lookup. This functionality is provided by the opensm-libs package. See opensm(8) for the file location for your installation. Generically: NDENT 0.0 NDENT 3.5

TOPOLOGY FILE FORMAT
The topology file format is human readable and largely intuitive. Most identifiers are given textual names like vendor ID (vendid), device ID (device ID), GUIDs of various types (sysimgguid, caguid, switchguid, etc.). PortGUIDs are shown in parentheses (). For switches, this is shown on the switchguid line. For CA and router ports, it is shown on the connectivity lines. The IB node is identified followed by the number of ports and a quoted the node GUID. On the right of this line is a comment (#) followed by the NodeDescription in quotes. If the node is a switch, this line also contains whether switch port 0 is base or enhanced, and the LID and LMC of port 0. Subsequent lines pertaining to this node show the connectivity. On the left is the port number of the current node. On the right is the peer node (node at other end of link). It is identified in quotes with nodetype followed by - followed by NodeGUID with the port number in square brackets. Further on the right is a comment (#). What follows the comment is dependent on the node type. If it it a switch node, it is followed by the NodeDescription in quotes and the LID of the peer node. If it is a CA or router node, it is followed by the local LID and LMC and then followed by the NodeDescription in quotes and the LID of the peer node. The active link width and speed are then appended to the end of this output line. An example of this is: NDENT 0.0 NDENT 3.5

NINDENT NINDENT When grouping is used, IB nodes are organized into chassis which are numbered. Nodes which cannot be determined to be in a chassis are displayed as "Non-Chassis Nodes". External ports are also shown on the connectivity lines.
